How do I change the name from NEW to New Travel Request
Greetings again mates:
I have the a custom list I created in SharePoint. Please see screenshot.
Per the screenshot, if user wishes to add another travel request, s/he will have to click on NEW.
Some of these users are complaining that they are having difficulty understanding that they need to click NEW in other to add anothe travel request.
Is there a clever way to change that name NEW to New Travel Request without losing the Export to Excel feature?
I tried the following script which which changes the name from NEW to New Travel request but in doing so, the Exxport to Excel feature is no longer available.
Then I attempted to programmaticall add the export link below:
but it does nothing.
Any ideas how to make this work or any other clever way of accomplishing this?
Thanks in advance

<script type="text/javascript">
Sys.Application.add_load(OnListViewLoad);
function OnListViewLoad()
{
var wpTable = $get("Hero-WPQ2");
if(wpTable != null)
{
var children = wpTable.getElementsByTagName("a");
for(var i = 0; i<children.length;i++)
{
if (children[i].getAttribute("id") == "idHomePageNewItem")
{
children[i].children[1].innerHTML = "New Travel Request";
break;
}
}
}
}
</script>

but it does nothing.

This is something that will be used internally by just a few people - less than 100.
The reason this appears to be more complicated than it is is that users need to export the data to Excel spreadsheet and at the same time, have the +NEW link changed to New Travel Request.
Those two combinations won't with SharePoint Online.
